Mr. Speaker, there is a problem paying attention tonight.
The Liberal member for Winnipeg North just did something very interesting. He brought up a piece of Bill C-14 that he and his colleagues could have passed already. The private member's bill brought forward by the member for Cariboo—Prince George could have been passed two weeks ago. It would have helped to protect first responders by making it an aggravating factor to harm a first responder while in the line of duty. That private member's bill was put forward by our member of Parliament, but the Liberals would not let it pass with unanimous consent.
They ask us to pass Bill C-14 to protect first responders, but that is exactly what we put forward last week and the Liberals did not allow that bill to pass. It is a bait and switch, and the Liberals do it quite often. Would my colleague agree with that?
